In this episode, I journey to the haunting ruins of Betty's Hope Sugar Plantation on the island of Antigua. Once a centerpiece of colonial wealth, it was built and sustained through the suffering of countless enslaved Africans. We examine the brutal legacy left behind and the echoes of exploitation that still linger in the landscape.

In today’s episode, I dive deep into the tragic story of the SS Eastland, a passenger steamship that capsized in the Chicago River in 1915 - claiming the lives of 844 people, most of them working-class families.
